Can AI (Artificial Intelligence) Replace a Human Dentist?

Can AI replace a human dentist? 

It’s frustrating when spell checkers substitute words we never intended to write.

We cringe when search engines give wrong answers because some computer thinks they’re correct.

And isn’t it hard enough just to put up with all those people who think they’re right all the time?


Why do so many AIs assume 
They can replace a real dentist?


The best AI engineers understand that their job is to help human dentists see more clearly and make better treatment decisions. Artificial intelligence can’t replace human intelligence, especially when that human intelligence is combined with years of education and experience.

Can a power saw replace an experienced carpenter?

Of course not!

So what should you look for in a dental AI?

Simple.

✓ Look for a dental AI that reveals areas of concern but leaves all the decision-making to you. Every finding—from tooth numbering to caries detection—should be submitted to you for your approval.


✓ The best AI will help you spot those easy-to-miss pathologies that even the best dentists miss 30% of the time.


✓ The best AI will create a bridge between your patient management system, your imaging software, and your insurance data so you can stop moving zeroes and ones around and focus on being a dentist.


✓ The best dental AI never thinks for you, forces its mistakes on you, or tries to replace you. 


✓ And when it’s wrong, the best AI will listen and learn from any findings you reject. That’s the intelligence part. The rest is just data processing.


And that’s why the VELMENI™ AI was created by dentists for dentists.

If you’re tired of tools that are way too smart but not so intelligent, you’re just the kind of discriminating dentist we can never replace!
